abstract

We review the properties of reduced density matrices for free fermionic or bosonic many-particle systems in their ground state. Their basic feature is that they have a thermal form and thus lead to a quasi-thermodynamic problem with a certain free-particle Hamiltonian. We discuss the derivation of this result, the character of the Hamiltonian and its eigenstates, the single-particle spectra and the full spectra, the resulting entanglement and in particular the entanglement entropy. This is done for various one- and two-dimensional situations, including also the evolution after global or local quenches.

Numerical approach to the modular operator for fermionic systems

math-ph · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A position-space discretization on a cylinder approximates the modular operator for one and two double cones in the 1+1D massive Majorana field, showing nontrivial mass dependence and reduced bilocal terms at higher masses.
